VIrtual path used in Windows 7 x64

Post by mwilner »

We have to copy data from a previous installation of our program after installing an update. The previous version was not written with a Manifest so if run it can't store data in C:\Program Files (x86)\My Program rather user data are stored in C:\Users\current user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\My Program. We need to figure out what this virtual directory name is on x64 systems.
Is there a system variable that gives us the name?

Thank you,
\Manfred

Dear Manfred,

Definitely - you can use the Get Folder Location command for the folder System->Application Data Directory.
